About

I am a meticulous and results oriented mechanical engineer with PhD from the US, currently working as a mechanical design engineer/project manager in product development

I am PMI certified Project Management Professional (PMP) with three years of experience in research and product development. I help companies to develop their product offerings by utilizing my technical, project management and analytical skills. Some of my significant contributions and achievements are:

1.Designed and supervised the fabrication and testing of a scaled glass fibre reinforced polymer composite made wave energy converter demonstrator structure within a constrained budget of €60000, at NUI Galway.
2. Spearheaded a product improvement project to design and develop a hybrid concrete pedestal for wastewater treatment plant mixers, with a projected sales generation of €100k at Sulzer Pumps Ireland.
3.Investigated warranty issues in a household light drainage pump, leading a team of 2 technicians by 3D printing and testing design modifications of the switch causing the problem.
4. Led a team of four to design at Bajaj Steel Industries, develop and test an improved ginned cotton conveying system, saving about 70% in power consumption.

Some of my contributions and achievements in research are:

1.Investigated the effect of defects and imperfections in adhesive bonded composites as part of PhD programme funded by L3 Harris at Baylor University, USA.
2. Awarded a grant of €53,727 from Science Foundation Ireland to study moisture behaviour of recycled carbon fibres while working as a post-doc researcher at NUI Galway, Ireland.
3.Published three research articles in reputed peer-reviewed research journals and presented posters and papers at international conferences.

Additionally, I am proficient in CAD and CAE analysis software namely:
1.ABAQUS
2. ANSYS
3.SIEMENS NX
4. SOLIDWORKS
5. INVENTOR
6. AUTOCAD.
7. MATLAB, OCTAVE, SCILAB

Also some of my other technical skills are:
1.建议授予/技术写作
2. New product development
3.数据收集和分析
4. Biomedical Design
5. GD&T
6. Statistical analysis
7. Computer Aided Design (CAD)
8. Project Management (CAPM, PMP), Agile, Waterfall and Scrum
9. Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
10. Instrumentation (Tensile Testing, Hardness Testing, Strain Gauges, Ultrasonic testing)
11. Risk management
